Diagnosis
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Tests may include:
- Pelvic exam
- Tests to check for bacteria and/or yeast
- Magnified exam, using a colposcope—visual examination of the vulva and vagina using a low-power microscope
- Biopsy —removal of a sample of tissue for testing
